Hi Tom, I have a tiller tamer on my M17 and used the stern side cleats for it and it has worked really well. I can snap a couple of pictures this weekend if you would like to see how I have it set up. --Chad On Aug 14, 2009, at 1:36 PM, Tom Jenkins wrote:
Kind folks,
I have a Tiller-Tamer sitting around that I thought might work for my 17 with an IdaSailor rudder. I don't want to mount new cleats, so I would like to use the side stern cleats for the T-T line. The geometry does not meet the specs in the mounting instructions (it would have to be too far forward to make a right angle), but I am wondering if one of you has mounted one further back with success. If so, how far is the T-T sheave center from the pivot point on the rudder?
Thanks, Tom Jenkins M17 hull #686 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
